For those of you who can’t wait to see their Keurig light up in the morning, and can’t pass up a diet coke when offered one. I’m with you. I’ve been drinking coffee since middle school, and none of that loaded with cream and sugar stuff, nope. Straight up black. If I could get it pumped through my veins I would. Some might consider it a problem, but I always said I can stop anytime I want.

And that’s where it began. My love for coffee was ruining my goal of having blinding white teeth, so I decided to skip my coffee and afternoon soda to conquer my pearly whites.

And let me know tell you how well that worked out:

Hour 1: I’m doing okay, I’m living without it.

Hour 5: I only fell asleep for 20 minutes in my class, that’s only 5 more than usually. Still doing good

Hour 12: It’s not weird if I go to bed at 8 right?

Hour 24: Coffee sounds so good right now

Hour 25: Weird, I haven’t gotten a headache in a while

Hour 25.5: OH MY GOD MY HEAD IS THROBBING

Hour 26: YOU COULD LITERALLY POUND A NAIL INTO A PLANK WITH THIS PULSATING HEADACHE

Hour 27: I’m just gonna take a couple naps

Hour 28: Who am I kidding, I don’t have this kind of willpower

Sad to say I barely made it a day and the battle of white teeth was lost, but that diet coke tasted like the sweet nectar of gods. And I will never skip a morning cup of coffee again, I’m sure my friends won’t let that happen either, so they don’t have to hear me complain about how much I need caffeine via IV after 2 hours of not having it.

You know in those D.A.R.E programs they should really warn you about caffeine.
